Negative for HPV type 16 and HPV type 18 means that the cervical epithelium is not infected with these two high-risk types of HPV viruses. Once these two high-risk types are infected in the cervical epithelium, persistent infection can lead to cervical epithelial lesions, which can lead to cervical cancer, for example. Therefore, even if you are negative for these two viruses, annual screening for cervical cancer is recommended. Cervical cancer screening includes HPV test and TCT test, which can help to avoid the occurrence of cervical cancer to some extent and is very beneficial to women’s health by providing timely clinical treatment when problems are detected. It is also recommended to have a gynecological examination every year to find out if there are any abnormalities in the vagina, cervix and pelvis.
